Thinking Dreaming Scheming – Austin Town Hall

Lightheadted Offer New/Old Single

June 19, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

If you didn’t order a copy of the new Lightheaded LP that drops next Friday, you might want to get on that right now. The group are very much a modern pop act, but if you listen to their latest single, “The Garden,” you get the feeling that their sound is rooted in the history of the underground. There are some girl-group style harmonies, but also this sort of underlying psychedelia that offers up enough edge to make their sound more than mere homage. Listen to the way they set you up in the first 20 seconds before switching into a bit of swing; you’ll want to grab Thinking, Dreaming, Scheming from Slumberland/Skep Wax now!

Lightheaded Return with The View from Your Room

May 15, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

Badassery usually doesn’t need a lot of extra hype, especially with the pedigree of Slumberland Records, but I’ve been all about Lightheaded since their 2023 EP first caught our attention. This group’s ability to spin classic girl-group pop music into a modern day spectacle still catches me every time, and even when it feels like they’re not doing much, you’re still completely under their spell; you’ll understand when the melodic middling of this track comes to light. The vocal bits are short and punctuated, perfectly pieced together at opposite ends to make sure you start and end with pop swoon. Thinking, Dreaming, Scheming will be out on June 27th.

Lightheaded Return with Thinking, Dreaming, Scheming

April 16, 2025 nathan.lankford Leave a comment

What!? You thought Skep Wax and Slumberland were done with pop announcements today!? Nope. They’ve doubled down with more LP news today; this time the two powerhouse labels team up for a new Lightheaded record, with the group aiming to build on the underrated Combustible Gems. Not sure anyone can argue, but this New Jersey lot come out of the gates with a masterful pop swoon, mastering the art of combining girl-group harmonizing with a modern vision that embraces a world where chamber pop is king. You’ll hear tons of touchstones throughout this singular song, but for me, the arrangements in the back perfectly texture their striking sound. Thinking, Dreaming, Scheming will likely be a personal favorite when it hits on June 27th.
